I agree and believe we have the answers to our questions within us. Tip: towards the end of a MP session, start writing TO yourself using your name as if you were giving advice to someone you care about. Sounds crazy, but it works for me when I do it.
I've been writing Morning Pages for over 10 years - 3 handwritten pages each early morning - it really helps 'flush' thoughts and emotions out and helps me to better understand Life -- I high recommend "The Right to Write" by Julia Cameron -- who also wrote "The Artist's Way" -- it is a terrific habit to implement! Cheers from Texas !
I always tell people about this habit that I also have. some pages are so very boring, but there are some that are so raw. I love my notebooks, but I always end up destroying them once filled. I re-write anything worth keeping in a separate journal.
That’s a great idea. I’ve burned some of my journals in the past, and found it freeing… but I regretted that I lost some good entries. Next time, I’ll copy the good stuff over.
I always feel like I'm missing something in the ordinary/mundane. There is so much wisdom to be gained from every single page (sometimes even years later), BUT I bet destroying and rewriting saves a lot of space in the long run hahaha!
When I write morning pages I prefer the rule of writing 3 A4-pages instead of a time limit of 30 minutes. Then, when I'm stuck I have time to think/reflect - that works better for me and now that it has become a routine, it takes 20-30 minutes per day ❤
subscribed man actually I have been suffering from the inability to take a decision about my career path and was just hoping for someone to do it for me as always but watching this video made me think maybe it's time for me to finally do what's due. thanks man
Imagine reading your compass-orienting journal fifty years from now. It will be very eerie: most of the dramatis personae will be dead, your career will have been chosen and its course will have been run, and you will read in jaw- dropping amazement that at one time you were so vibrant and alive, and your mind will flower in memories. I know this because for the past several days I have been reading my journal from 1980, and I’m suffering from bittersweet schizophrenia: I WAS that person then, and I AM this person now, and both are, in some sense, me. This is the same feeling you get watching yourself in a dream. Journals are powerful tools, time machines. Salaam.
Making TH-cam videos have been in my mind for months , and the idea of writing in the mornings could help me get some good ideas , thank you for sharing this video, I needed that!!
I just discovered your channel and I love the values you're putting forward. Your content is authentic and inspiring. You got yourself a new subscriber and I am very excited to see your channel grow :) wishing you lots of success!!
I love this!!! Great content and your clear and calm voice really helped in delivering the message into my brain. Great work and Thank you for this video. Lots of love. 💛💛💛
The Artist’s Way changed my life, and the practice of doing Morning Pages is a large part of that. To anyone with ADHD, if you need any tips to stick with it, I may have some suggestions for you.
@@yasarheidt Totally! I know daily journaling can be a hard habit for people to stick to. I have tried and failed a couple of times before I finally figured it out for myself.
@@energysourcelove More than happy to share. I’m passionate about my MPs. :) Sorry if this is long. I’ll split it over a couple of entries. 1. Find a time that works best for you. We deal with enough stress with ADHD already. If you’re a night owl, Night Pages might be a better fit for you. That said, I prefer the quiet morning before other people are up and before I get swept up in the chaos. If I can’t do it then, I get to it later. Your mindset can make or break you here, and flexibility helps. 2. Set a daily reminder on your phone, put your journal somewhere you’ll see it, or put up a posted note. Visual cues at least until you establish the habit (but I still need them now, since one change in my routine and I seem to forget Morning Pages ever existed lol ) 3. Set a (visual) timer. How useful this is depends on how much time blindness is a factor for you, but it can also help our dopamine-deprived selves take heart that it’ll be over in x amount of minutes. The Artist’s Way suggests 3 letter-sized pages in 30 minutes. Personally, I need more time some days.
@@energysourcelove 4. Don’t read previous entries before you write. You’ll get sucked down a distraction rabbit hole. If I read them it’s infrequently and to see patterns and insights. 5. Remember just showing up is far more important than the number of pages you write. If you can’t bring yourself to write three pages one day, don’t. Praise yourself when you do, forgive yourself when you don’t. You need pleasant experiences to encourage you to continue. Also, don’t be afraid if you skip a day (or two). You’ll know the difference between a legitimate reason from an excuse. 6. Try not to edit yourself too much. That’s good advice for anyone, actually. Sometimes you’ll write total, repetitive crap. Maybe most of the time. But sometimes you’ll write life-changing nuggets of gold. The key is just to move forward without expectations or judgement.
Morning pages can be gold, but I stepped also into a negative loop, when writing about negative feelings seemed to reinforce them instead of making space for creative thoughts. Did anyone experience this?
I have a suggestion for you, if you’re interested. Go back through your journal entries with two highlighters. One to highlight insights, one to highlight actions needed. I got this idea from The Artist’s Way. If you have years worth, maybe only go back a couple of months. You’ll be surprised at the patterns that emerge.
Great suggestion! I'd pretty much say the same: you have to work with what you've written. Morning pages are so powerful because they change the trajectory of your day. Regular journaling, on the other hand, would just be reflecting on the past for me. The pages won't magically make you a different person; they simply show you what you already know and what you need to implement.
@@The_Winsome_Pixie I really love this suggestion as my journals going back years feel like ground hog day with same struggles over and over. That is why I have stopped and started many times. It becomes proof of little to no progress.
Hi Yasar, I stumbled on this video and enjoyed it very much. Your b-roll locations look great. May I ask, what country those were shot it? Liked and sub’d.
Im glad there are other people listening to penemue. 😂😈 I am used to writing so i keep doing it despite the knowledge i have now. What is this world coming to😅

That’s a great idea, I’ve written appreciation letters to myself in the past but that’s even better! I’ll try it tomorrow morning, thank you
I don't know whats ur age but after 38 years of my life you opened a new view in my life. God bless you
I'm 20 - So happy to have an impact, god bless you too!

A morning pages Veteran! The compounding must be CRAZY.
Appreciate the recommendation, I'll put "The Right to Write" on my TBR.
Cheers mate
The fact that you’ve created such a great video shows how your morning pages tremendously helped you. You’re awesome man.
Thank you so much!

Whatever works best for you, that’s a great way too!
Three pages! WOW. Congrats. I struggle to fill a single A5 page, let alone three A4.
every video is simply an improvement of your skills and creativity, you're making such incredible progress, and I love being a part of it

You have a great channel, I wish you a million subscribers.
This means the world to me, thank you
Love it. Thanks for this video!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
Thank you too!
30 min isa long time for me & I prefer 4-5. in non stop writing.it works sometimes
That’s great too, first priority should be to keep writing consistently
What and insightful and inspiring video. I truly appreciate your efforts. Thank you. I am a subscriber now.⭐️
Appreciate your support so much!
Underrated channel!
Appreciate it!
Morning pages can be gold, but I stepped also into a negative loop, when writing about negative feelings seemed to reinforce them instead of making space for creative thoughts. Did anyone experience this?
Brilliant video! thank you!
Thank you too!!

Appreciate the support!
Here thanks to the TH-cam algo. Great video!
Glad you like it!
Hmmmmmm…….wake up 30 minutes earlier……..well when you wake at 5am for work I am definitely not getting up at 4:30am lol 😂😂
Thank you for this video. Why would you recommend mornings for this instead of evenings?
My pleasure! They allow me to adjust my mindset for the coming day. Regular journaling is mostly just looking back for me
Thank you
Thank you too!
Beautiful locations
Thank you!

Can also use some CBT Prompts.

When comes a video about starring at the wall? (the world needs a guide for that 💩).
I'll think about it, the world really needs it
Automatic like for the solved Rubik’s cube and red and blue Nintendo switch.
Ah, I see a man of culture as well hahaha
@@yasarheidt I try
What pen do you use in the video ??
It’s a promo gift from a company in Germany - I don’t really know anything about it hahahah

Im glad there are other people listening to penemue. 😂😈 I am used to writing so i keep doing it despite the knowledge i have now. What is this world coming to😅
I don’t really know what you’re talking about hahaha
@@yasarheidt look up penemuel
Can i do this on phone?
Sure, just try out both and decide what works best for you
